Going to Sedona and Grand Canyon in the Spring and trying to pack as little as possible. I’ll be with my family so not much dedicated time for photography.
I’m planning to take one lens (24-70 2.8) due to weight (arthritis) and dust concerns. My main concern is if I’ll significantly miss out without a wide angle or telephoto zoom?
1-2 nights of Astro: 24mm f2.8 is decent, hard to justify a specialty lens
Family pics: 24-70 is perfect Canyons/hikes: is 24mm with pano enough?
Lookouts: Is 70mm significantly limiting reach?
My family lives in Flagstaff, so I go to Sedona and the Grand Canyon three or four times a year when I visit them. I used to lug around a bag full of lenses but now I only bring a 24-70. It pretty much covers everything and is easier to hike with. Rarely do I ever wish I had anything wider or longer with me.
